Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

I have an Olympus D-510 bought in 2001. Only recently did I want to download pictures to my computer. The original box and instruction manual identified a USB cable as being included in the box. Since it's been a while, I can't exactly identify the cable which was included so I attempted to use a "standard" cable, now provided with every digital device. The adapter port on the camera does not have the same shape - it's more curved on one side so will not accept the "standard" , rectangular male

Photos unread I have an Olympus Stylus 720 SW with the same problem. When I upload photos, some are corrupted and are chopped with parts of the photo misplaced. It has nothing to do with computer as it does this on all computers. I'm not using a reader, but simply uploading VIA USB cable. Some photos are so corrupted, I cannot even get a partial view of the choppy remnant of the photo taken. Could this be a memory card problem or a camera problem? I don't know.
